Book #1, an Interconnected Standalone, in The Sanctum Syndicate Series

Tropes: Dark Mafia Romance, Revenge, Forced Proximity

It was supposed to be my last con.
But I didn’t expect him to be the client.

Dangerous, powerful, and drop-dead gorgeous, Ronan Hennessey’s sharp blue eyes drew me in, but it was his wicked tongue that kept me there.

As one of the leaders of his underworld, I should have been scared. Instead, I was mesmerized. Enthralled.

So I sent him an invitation made of brush strokes and riddles, tempting him to chase me. One last adventure before I vanished to my island paradise after years of crooked black-market deals.

He was only meant to be a thrill. But when he called me his little witch, casting his own spell on me, my heart was in trouble.

Only, I didn’t know someone else was already hunting me, determined to get revenge and make me suffer for a past deceit. It was only a matter of time until this enemy found my new identity.

Meeting Ronan changed everything and mine wasn’t the only life on the line anymore.

Who will get to me first? The man who makes my soul sing, or the monster who wants to burn it?
